Important! Read this information about
exposure to radio frequency signals
before using Safety Connect;
The Safety Connect system installed in
your vehicle is a low-power radio trans-
mitter and receiver. It receives and also
sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.
In August 1996, the Federal Commu-
nications Commission (FCC) adopted
RF exposure guidelines with safety lev-
els for mobile wireless phones. Those
guidelines are consistent with the
safety standards previously set by the
following U.S. and international stan-
dards bodies.

ANSI (American National Stan-
dards Institute) C95.1 [1992]
 NCRP (National Council on Radia-
tion Protection and Measurement)
Report 86 [1986]
 ICNIRP (International Commission
on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protec-
tion) [1996]
Those standards were based on com-
prehensive and periodic evaluations of
the relevant scientific literature. Over

●Vehicles with a rear seat entertainment
system: When the rear seat is moving

play. Otherwise, a hand or finger may
be caught, possibly causing injury.
■Seat adjustment
To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap
belt during a collision, do not recline the
seat more than necessary.
If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may
slide past the hips and apply restraint
forces directly to the abdomen, or your
neck may contact the shoulder belt,
increasing the risk of death or serious
injury in the event of an accident.
Adjustments should not be made while
driving as the seat may unexpectedly
move and cause the driver to lose control
of the vehicle.
■Using the ottoman (if equipped)
●Do not sit on the ottoman.
If someone sits on the ottoman, the seat
belt cannot be fitted properly, and they
may be thrown from the seat, resulting in
death or serious injury in the event of an
accident or sudden braking.
●When getting in or out of the vehicle,
retract the ottoman. If the ottoman is
not retracted, it may cause a fall, result-
ing in injury.
●Do not operate the ottoman when the
vehicle is moving.
●Do not allow anyone to put their hands
or feet under the re ar seat when stow-
ing the ottoman.
